When you were younger

[KYYX4ever]

...what did your parents/family think of your New Wave obsession ?

Mine were fine with it. They seemed to have thought it was a normal, teenage thing to do, obsess over bands. My pop would usually tease me about the makeup-on-guys thing (re: Nick Rhodes), and the posters covering my walls made them roll their eyes. But occasionally my mum would regale me with stories about how [i]she[/i] idolized Ricky Nelson when [i]she[/i] was my age. They'd occasionally buy me a cassette or two, and magazines, and a couple treks up to Seattle for shows. My little brother was into heavy metal, and we clashed a lot, good-naturedly.

You ? p.s. I know we've had a sim. topic on spouses/SO, but what about your childhood ?
